Monarch Eleven Madison Park Edition playing cards were a single-printing limited-edition product not ever sold on [link removed by eBay]. These were printed specifically for Eleven Madison Park, a high end restaurant in ...New York City that was ranked #1 in the world in 2017, and is consistently ranked in the top 10 in the world. This deck is a custom variation based on Silver Monarch playing cards.
The EMP Monarchs were printed using the standard theory11 stock and finishes (the same as used on all our custom cards). These were all printed in one single run, and have no known variations. These decks feature a few notable characteristics that make them easily identifiable:
- White Paper tuck case with silver foil designs.- 4 leafs on the upper right and lower left branches on the tuck case back (this was from before the change to 5 leafs)- t11 Circle logo and barcode on the bottom flap of the tuck case- Red and gold foil seal with smooth edges- Black Ink design on white background on the playing card backs- Custom Ace of Spades and 2 custom (identical) Jokers- Other faces standard, with the typical muted theory11 color scheme- Partial custom artwork on the tuck case (EMP leaf logos, "Special Edition", "Made Exclusively for Eleven Madison Park".- Full custom faces, featuring ingredients
The EMP Monarchs were commissioned as a part of a unique NYC-themed menu at EMP. The restaurant was tying their menu to various elements of NYC culture and history. They wanted to feature the commonly-seen street con 3 Card Monte. Their servers were taught a trick that resulted in the diners selecting ingredients that were used in the next course. Every so often, diners were able to take home a deck after the meal if they asked. These were not otherwise sold, and as such are extremely rare.
